the religious dimensions of the poetry of E.J. Pratt McAuliffe, Angela T. creator text bibliography Electronic books Criticism, interpretation, etc. quc Montreal, Quâe McGill-Queen's University Press ©2000 2000 monographic eng 1 online resource (ix, 250 pages) "Drawing on a wide variety of newly available source material, Angela McAuliffe examines the roots of E.J. Pratt's religious attitudes, including his strict Methodist upbringing in Newfoundland and his plans to enter the ministry. She explores Pratt's early prose and unpublished poetry, including his theses on demonology and Pauline eschatology and the unpublished poem "Clay," to trace the origins of religious ideas and motifs that occur in his later work." "McAuliffe focuses on key motifs in Pratt's poetry, such as his image of a distant and formidable God, his apocalyptic vision of the world, and his belief in determinism and fate. She concludes that the diversity of religious positions attributed to Pratt and the image of God that emerges from his poetry are facets of the ironic vision of a man of twentieth-century sensibility who wrestled with God and sought a medium of expression equal to his themes."--Jacket. 1.
